Wayby Valley Landfill Update
Consent Conditions and Relationship Agreement
Since the July wānanga, our team has met several times with Ngāti Manuhiri and Waste Management to discuss the consent conditions for the Wayby Valley landfill.
We carried what we heard from whānau into these negotiations.
-
Prevent environmental harm to the Hōteo and Kaipara, protecting our taonga. Our bottom line is “not one drop” — prevention, not just reduction of risk.
-
Build a relationship framework that upholds whanaungatanga, kaitiakitanga, and tikanga.
-
Create opportunities to improve the mauri o te taiao.
We have now concluded negotiations and agreed to a set of consent conditions and a relationship agreement between ourselves, Waste Management, and Ngāti Manuhiri.
Te Uri o Hau will remain in the Court to ensure these consent conditions are upheld.
E ngā iwi o ngā hau e whā e noho ana i runga i ngā motu nei,
Aotearoa, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, katoa.
ABOUT US
Te Uri o Hau is a Northland hapū of Ngāti Whātua whose area of interest is located in the Northern Kaipara region.
Te Uri o Hau descends from Haumoewaarangi through Hakiputatomuri and Waihekeao, who are our founding tūpuna, and includes people who affiliate to ngā marae tūturu: Ōtamatea, Waikāretu, Ōruawharo, Waihaua.
The tribe has settled its historical grievances with the Crown and is developing the future for its people with many more stories to be told. This website will tell some of those stories and we hope you enjoy your journey here with us.
